==Need help keying this project?==
'''Project Instructions''' 
This collection contains convict ledgers recorded in the Texas prison system between the years 1849 to 1970. Keyers will be keying convict number, name, age, birth information, residence information, and date of arrival at the prison.

The records are entered in a ledger format and are a mix of handwritten and typed entries. Images titled "Convict Record" will be keyed using the Convict Ledger form type. Images labeled "Index to Records" will not be keyed and should be marked as "Cover page, Section header, etc.".
 
'''Project-specific sample images and form field help:'''
 Choose a sample image from below to see the corresponding form field examples.

=Convict Ledgers=
http://c.mfcreative.com/i/akt/projecthelp/33039/33039_258579-00099.jpg
 
Convict ledgers list all convicts that entered the Texas prison system, in order of their convict number. These forms include information such as name, age, race, height, weight, conviction date, received date, nativity, occupation and term. 
====Convict Number====
Key the Convict Number as seen. The number was given to a convict when they enter the Texas prison system. It will typically be found in the far left hand column.
 
====Prefix====
Key any titles before the given name, such as "Dr", "Rev", "Mr" or "Mrs", as seen on the record using the dictionary provided to assist you.
 
====Given====
Key the first name or initial and any middle names as seen on the record using the dictionary provided to assist you.
 
====Surname====
Key the surname as seen on the record using the dictionary provided to assist you.
 
====Suffix====
Key all titles, such as "Jr" or "III", following the surname as seen on the record using the dictionary provided to assist you.
 
====Alias Given Name====
Key the alias given name which appears as seen on the record using the dictionary provided to assist you. Occasionally an alternate name may be recorded for a given individual. This name may be denoted by parentheses, quotation marks, or may be preceded by the abbreviation "for" or the word "formerly". These alternate names are to be keyed as Aliases.
 

====Alias Surname====
Key the alias surname which appears as seen on the record using the dictionary provided to assist you. Occasionally an alternate name may be recorded for a given individual. This name may be denoted by parentheses, quotation marks, or may be preceded by the abbreviation "for" or the word "formerly". These alternate names are to be keyed as Aliases.
 

====Age====
Key the age at the time of arrival to the prison from the age column.
 
====Birth Year====
Key the birth year as seen from the date of birth column when present on the image. DO NOT calculate this from age.
 

====Birthplace====
Key the birth place as seen on the record using the dictionary provided to assist you. The birth place will be located in the "Birthplace" or "Nativity" column. Do not expand abbreviations.
 

====Place of Residence====
Key the place of residence of the convict as seen on the record using the dictionary provided to assist you. The place of residence will be located in the "Residence" column. If city and state are shown, they should both be keyed as seen, separated by a comma.
 

====Record Month====
Key the month in its three-letter abbreviation the convict was received by the prison using the dictionary provided. The record date is located in the "When Received" column. If ditto marks (") are seen, key the month from above.
 
====Record Day====
Key the day the convict was received by the prison. The record date is located in the "When Received" column. If ditto marks (") are seen, key the day from above.
 
====Record Year====
Key the year as seen the convict was received by the prison. The record date is located in the "When Received" column.

Typically the year appears in 4 digits, but could also be in 2 digits. If a year appears as 2 digits and the century can be identified then expand the year to 4 digits. If the century cannot be determined then do not expand 2 digit years. Looking at the birth dates of convicts on the image can help you determine century.

If ditto marks (") are seen, key the year from above. Sometimes the year is only given at the top of the column and must be keyed to all records on that image.

You can use Google translate for Czech to English. Click the keyboard icon in the corner to enter Czech characters.

http://translate.google.com/#

==Czech Characters==

The following are part of the Czech language: haceks (carons), acute accents

:á č ď ě é í ľ ň ř š ť ú ů ý ž
:Á Č Ď Ě É Í Ľ Ň Ř Š Ť Ú Ů Ý Ž

The following are not part of the Czech language but are common in German-origin surnames: umlauts

:ä ö ü
:Ä Ö Ü

You are very unlikely to encounter any breves such as "ĕ" though it looks VERY similar to "ě", or macrons such as "ū".

==Useful Vocab==

Note: The forms of many of these words may vary with grammar. Feel free to edit or expand this section, more is better!

*Velkou Britanii = Great Britain
*jsem se narodila = I was born
*jménovany se narodila =the applicant was born

*můj =my
*jeho=his
*svůj=his
*její =hers

*v =in
*a =and

*dcera = daughter
*syn= son
*otec = father
*matka = mother
*manželka =wife
*manžel =husband
*choť = husband
*babička =grandmother
*dědeček =grandfather

*ženatý = married (male)
*vdaná = married (female)
*sňatek =marriage
*rozvedený =divorced

*žemrel =died

*adresa = address
*bydliště = residence

*neznámo = unknown

*změna jméno = change of name

==Content Notes ==
The images appear in utterly random order, one does not follow another. No attempt should be made to pull information from one image to another, as the images are NOT in sequence. Also because of this, it is very unlikely that you will be able to mark any images as duplicates.

==Discussion on Prefixes==
The following are common prefixes, not on the list.

*pan, or pán, or p = Mr
*paní, or pí, = Mrs
*slečna, or sl = Miss
*Ing or inž... for Engineers, I think
*JUDr = Juris Doctor (Dr of law)
*MUDr = Medical Doctor

==Discussion on document days ==

There has been considerable disagreement amongst keyers on what does and does not qualify as a document date. Here are some guidelines.

What does qualify (preferred):
*a date at the top or bottom of a letter, especially in the standard form {Place} {Date}
*a date in a field labeled document date, or the like

What does not qualify:
*References within the text to events, such as the date of future plans, the date a law was passed, etc.

Grey areas: (only when a preferred date cannot be identified)
*Stamps
*Latest log entry

==Discussion on aliases and Czech Grammar==

One of the major issues with the Czech projects has been how the Czech language handles names. They change the name depending on how it's used. For example Jindřich becomes Jindřicha, Karel becomes Karla, and on. Sometimes keyers are entering these alternate forms as separate people, sometimes as aliases. But in reality they are neither. I prefer, by far the nominative form (the actual name) when I can get it (in the absence of which, they must be keyed as written).

==Discussion on place names and Czech Grammar==

In a similar manner to personal names, place names also change depending on usage. For example: Brno becomes Brně, Praha (Prague) becomes Praze, Vídeň (Vienna) becomes Vídni. Like the personal names, I prefer the nominative form when possible, but likewise, key as seen when the nominative form isn't available in the text of the document.

==Discussion on full address vs City and district only==

The actual rule on these states that if there is a separate field for the street address to only key the city or district. After arbitrating a couple hundred of these I have determined that you hardly ever get an actual separate field for the street address. Meaning that most of the time it gets to be keyed in full. So if in doubt, key the full address.

==Discussion on inferring surnames==
I'd like to share my thoughts on this topic. I don't feel that it is very useful for a person to be known by only their first name if it is possible to avoid it. Especially as the images in this collection won't be published. I feel that it will be acceptable to infer the wife's surname from her husband, or the children from their parents.

== Common Keying Errors Found by Reviewers ==

This project uses diacritics (accents) - please be sure to key them as seen. 

Most images have multiple documents on them.  If the documents all relate to the same person, enter the latest date and only key the name once. If the documents concern different people, make sections for each person.

Document order: in order to facilitate alignment in arbitration it would be helpful if documents were read in the same order. This also makes a difference in accuracy as section headers cannot be moved independently in arbitration. I suggest reading the documents like you would the panels in a normal comic book (left-to-right), and not a manga (right to left). It will make less of a difference when we hit the a-review sets, but for now everything has been arbitrated.

Names of months. Quite often the only arbitration has been to the names of the months. There is quite a complicated rule in how do determine the correct month format. It has to do with the language the document was written in. If the document is in English, use English format, for German, German, and for Czech, Czech. I suppose for bilingual forms go with the language the person who actually filled out the document wrote in.

Calculating Year of birth. We don't calculate the year of birth from age without specific instructions to do so. Most especially don't use the date from a document that the age isn't written on as a basis for such calculation.

Keying as seen. Marriage status and nationality are fields that are keyed as written, however is acceptable to say someone is married when you see a phrase like "My husband John is in the army...."

Lost in translation: please don't translate place names, nor infer the country when it's not stated. Likewise don't omit the country when it is explicitly listed.

I have at least one keyer who is doing an excellent job of understanding the data, and for mining it for all it's worth, but whose accuracy rate doesn't reflect this. The reasons boil down to key as seen, and inference of what isn't actually stated. Since this keyer is really doing a pretty good job, I don't him to be discouraged by his present accuracy rate. No translating Londýn to London, Švýcarsko to Switzerland, or looking up the country of certain towns. I know it's very tempting.

==Discussion on aliases and Czech Grammar==

One of the major issues with the Czech projects has been how the Czech language handles names. They change the name depending on how it's used. For example Jindřich becomes Jindřicha, Karel becomes Karla, and on. Sometimes keyers are entering these alternate forms as separate people, sometimes as aliases. But in reality they are neither. I prefer, by far the nominative form (the actual name) when I can get it (in the absence of which, they must be keyed as written).

==Discussion on place names and Czech Grammar==

In a similar manner to personal names, place names also change depending on usage. For example: Brno becomes Brně, Praha (Prague) becomes Praze, Vídeň (Vienna) becomes Vídni. Like the personal names, I prefer the nominative form when possible, but likewise, key as seen when the nominative form isn't available in the text of the document.

==Discussion on full address vs City and district only==

The actual rule on these states that if there is a separate field for the street address to only key the city or district. After arbitrating a couple hundred of these I have determined that you hardly ever get an actual separate field for the street address. Meaning that most of the time it gets to be keyed in full. So if in doubt, key the full address.

==Discussion on inferring surnames==
I'd like to share my thoughts on this topic. I don't feel that it is very useful for a person to be known by only their first name if it is possible to avoid it. Especially as the images in this collection won't be published. I feel that it will be acceptable to infer the wife's surname from her husband, or the children from their parents.

== Common Keying Errors Found by Reviewers ==

This project uses diacritics (accents) - please be sure to key them as seen. 

Most images have multiple documents on them.  If the documents all relate to the same person, enter the latest date and only key the name once. If the documents concern different people, make sections for each person.

Document order: in order to facilitate alignment in arbitration it would be helpful if documents were read in the same order. This also makes a difference in accuracy as section headers cannot be moved independently in arbitration. I suggest reading the documents like you would the panels in a normal comic book (left-to-right), and not a manga (right to left). It will make less of a difference when we hit the a-review sets, but for now everything has been arbitrated.

Names of months. Quite often the only arbitration has been to the names of the months. There is quite a complicated rule in how do determine the correct month format. It has to do with the language the document was written in. If the document is in English, use English format, for German, German, and for Czech, Czech. I suppose for bilingual forms go with the language the person who actually filled out the document wrote in.

Calculating Year of birth. We don't calculate the year of birth from age without specific instructions to do so. Most especially don't use the date from a document that the age isn't written on as a basis for such calculation.

Keying as seen. Marriage status and nationality are fields that are keyed as written, however is acceptable to say someone is married when you see a phrase like "My husband John is in the army...."

Lost in translation: please don't translate place names, nor infer the country when it's not stated. Likewise don't omit the country when it is explicitly listed.

I have at least one keyer who is doing an excellent job of understanding the data, and for mining it for all it's worth, but whose accuracy rate doesn't reflect this. The reasons boil down to key as seen, and inference of what isn't actually stated. Since this keyer is really doing a pretty good job, I don't him to be discouraged by his present accuracy rate. No translating Londýn to London, Švýcarsko to Switzerland, or looking up the country of certain towns. I know it's very tempting.

You can use Google translate for Czech to English. Click the keyboard icon in the corner to enter Czech characters.

http://translate.google.com/#

==Czech Characters==

The following are part of the Czech language: haceks (carons), acute accents

:á č ď ě é í ľ ň ř š ť ú ů ý ž
:Á Č Ď Ě É Í Ľ Ň Ř Š Ť Ú Ů Ý Ž

The following are not part of the Czech language but are common in German-origin surnames: umlauts

:ä ö ü
:Ä Ö Ü

You are very unlikely to encounter any breves such as "ĕ" though it looks VERY similar to "ě", or macrons such as "ū".

==Useful Vocab==

Note: The forms of many of these words may vary with grammar. Feel free to edit or expand this section, more is better!

*jsem se narodila = I was born
*jménovany se narodila =the applicant was born

*můj =my
*jeho=his
*svůj=his
*její =hers

*v =in
*a =and

*dcera = daughter
*syn= son
*otec = father
*matka = mother
*manželka =wife
*manžel =husband
*choť = husband
*babička =grandmother
*dědeček =grandfather

*ženatý = married (male)
*vdaná = married (female)
*sňatek =marriage
*rozvedený =divorced

*žemrel =died

*adresa = address
*bydliště = residence

*neznámo = unknown

*změna jméno = change of name

==Content Notes ==
The images appear in utterly random order, one does not follow another. No attempt should be made to pull information from one image to another, as the images are NOT in sequence. Also because of this, it is very unlikely that you will be able to mark any images as duplicates.

==Discussion on Prefixes==
The following are common prefixes, not on the list.

*pan, or pán, or p = Mr
*paní, or pí, = Mrs
*slečna, or sl = Miss
*Ing or inž... for Engineers, I think
*JUDr = Juris Doctor (Dr of law)
*MUDr = Medical Doctor

==Discussion on document days ==

There has been considerable disagreement amongst keyers on what does and does not qualify as a document date. Here are some guidelines.

What does qualify (preferred):
*a date at the top or bottom of a letter, especially in the standard form {Place} {Date}
*a date in a field labeled document date, or the like

What does not qualify:
*References within the text to events, such as the date of future plans, the date a law was passed, etc.

Grey areas: (only when a preferred date cannot be identified)
*Stamps
*Latest log entry

If you are keying Quaker records prior to 1752 the numbering of the months does not follow our typical numbering. Please refer to the chart below. [[Image:Quakermonths.jpg]]

== Common Keying Errors Found by Reviewers ==
I have a clip here of an image that shows no city at the top of the page for the marriage. The previous page showed Smithfield and the keyer carried this city over to the next page. Also the surnames are not shown for the parents. These errors are showing on most of the sets that I have reviewed.

[[Image:SmithfieldMarriages.jpg|200px|thumb|left]]

Parents last names should be keyed.

Do not key Jr in given or surname fields. Per keying guidelines: In cases where the name is listed as Rev. John Smith, or John Smith, Jr, and there is not a prefix or suffix field the name should be entered with John in the Given Name field and Smith in the Surname field, without either prefix or suffix.

Do not key any ranks that may appear.

Please check that you have keyed the Event City if it appears at the top of the page. Even though the city name may appear only once on the image, if you miss it out of every record on the page, it could have a bad effect on your accuracy stats! --Katerimmer 12:05, 18 December 2012 (UTC).

Q: '''Double-dating''': If a record has the following date, "Feb. 20, 1743-4," how would you key the year?

:A: This is not a Quaker format date as it gives the name of the month rather than the number, and it should be keyed as Feb 20 1743. --[[User:Katerimmer|Katerimmer]] 23:43, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

::A: As far as I know, whenever one of these double years appears, we are keying the first year shown, regardless of whether it was a Quaker date or any other. This has been the same on many WAP projects but I will see if I can find if there has been an official confirmation of this. --[[User:Katerimmer|Katerimmer]] 11:03, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

''Hardcoal and all, The answer regarding which year to key came after discussion with the Content Manager resposible for this project and other Ancestry.com staff members. When making decisions such as which date, location, etc to key we review the project as a whole, take into consideration the time period, and location of the records and other criteria to decide how the project should be keyed. As to who I am, I am Anna Fechter and by title am the Community Operations Manager at Ancestry.com and currently manage the World Archives Project. On the message boards Ancestry staff show with the leaf but on the wiki there isn't a distinction for staff - generally you will hear from Lizzy, aka lizzypetersen, and me, aka annafechter or afechter.'' 

::Also bear in mind that this book already contains a mixture of Julian and Gregorian pre-1752 dates and therefore whichever year is selected from the "double years" it would not mean that the pre-1752 dates in the book become standardised to one format or the other. A quote from the introduction to the Newport County section of the book demonstrates that this is true: "We have not changed dates here given, but we give it just as it stands on the record itself. We have observed, however, that the Scotch year is more general in this county than in any others that have come to our notice". --[[User:Katerimmer|Katerimmer]] 18:14, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Q: '''Copy from above''': Are records, ''not'' stating the father and mother (i.e. "of William and Sarah"), but are directly below ones stating a father and mother of the same family? Therefore, would I just copy down the father and mother from above assuming the following record represents a child of that family until another mother and father are listed?

Q: On Births and deaths record, when a male is listed with birth and death info, followed by a female with 'his wife' and birth and / or death info, followed by children of the couple, should the spouse name be included with any of the birth and death entries, only the death entries, or neither? In the screenshot link, the wife has no death info listed. See Screenshot link.

[http://screencast.com/t/2OrIGBTcjeR http://screencast.com/t/2OrIGBTcjeR]

Q: When something is in parentheses after a name, as shown in the screenshot link, should it be entered as the Town or the maiden name.  On the 1st entry, it looked like it was the maiden name, but the 2nd entry makes it look like it might be the town.    This was found in the Scitaute, RI births and deaths records.

Q. If one record in Births and Deaths file has the male listed as a child with DOB, then the next record lists the same person with the same DOB, then the next record lists his wife's name and DOB, should the male's name and DOB be listed a second time? It doesn't seem like it should be duplicated.

:A: If everything on the line is a duplication from the line above, no you would not key it again. -- [[User:Wiedwoman|Wiedwoman]] 04:22, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Q. What should be done with Suffix for father? Nothing since there is no field or should it be entered in the Given name fieldas seen in the record?

:A: Do not key Jr in given or surname fields. Per keying guidelines: In cases where the name is listed as Rev. John Smith, or John Smith, Jr, and there is not a prefix or suffix field the name should be entered with John in the Given Name field and Smith in the Surname field, without either prefix or suffix.

Q: What does two asterisks ** after the parents' names in birth/death records mean?

A: Can you tell us the page number and what it says at the top of the page, please, and the names from the entry, so we can find it in the book and see whether there is an explanation of the asterisks in there? --[[User:Katerimmer|Katerimmer]] 17:35, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Q:  On pg. 34 of the Rhode Island County Records the title on the page says marriages.  Some of the people have m. by... and a date.  Others just have a date.  Are these without the "m by... and date" considered marriage certificates?

:A: They would be marriages. -- [[User:Wiedwoman|Wiedwoman]] 16:31, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Q: Following up on the question re parents above - when I am keying multiple pages and the children born at the top of the second page are a continuation of the family being keyed at the bottom of page one (i.e. a continuing record of the children of William and Catherine Pierce, in this case), should I carry over the parents from page 1 to page 2? Or should I treat each index image as a stand alone document, and since parents are not noted for the seven children who are first listed on page 2, these fields should remain blank?

:A: Treat each page as a stand-alone document unless it states not to in the instructions. It is not in the instructions so key each page as a stand-alone document. -- [[User:Wiedwoman|Wiedwoman]] 16:30, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Q: Following that theory, I should assume that there is no Event City for the births and deaths on page 2 of my set, correct? The header at the top of even-numbered pages does not provide the location of the events; the location is only noted on odd numbered pages. --[[User:Kennebec63|Kennebec63]] 17:20, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

:A: Yes that is correct. Only key information from the page that you see. -- [[User:Wiedwoman|Wiedwoman]] 17:35, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Q: Page 25 New Shoreham births and deaths. Can one use the numbers on the side to decide father? Top of page Mary of John down to Samuel of William can not be just one father as dates overlap. I hope this the right place for questions. PC

:Please post a screenshot here or on the New Project Q&A Board so that I may see it. -- [[User:Wiedwoman|Wiedwoman]] 17:33, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Q; I have been working on Rhode Island Vital Statistics. As far as event city: On the top of the page it often says Rhode Island alone. So I put no city? Also I will see at the bottom of entering a family of births - "first three children born in a certain city other than the heading city. Can I enter in those cities? Also I will see a note born at (certain city) not of the heading city. May I enter that city? Sometimes city in another state? Thanks for any help I would hate to do anything wrong and certainly want to include information that is viable. Regards Pattie, Ohio

:A: If it shows Rhode Island at the top of the page, only list cities that are shown in the paragraph. If you see "first three children born at such and such city", key that city. The others would be left blank unless it says others born at such and such city. You may key a city but do not key a state or county or another country. The next page will usually have a heading of a city. Key that city for every entry unless there is something different on that record. -- [[User:Wiedwoman|Wiedwoman]] 02:37, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Q: When a page is being keyed that has "Vital Records" in the heading, instead of a heading with the Type of records, quite often there are 2 records one after the other. The first would normally be keyed as 'other' since there is no clear indicator of what record type it is, but the 2nd records has the 'd' to designate death date. Should the 'other' record be keyed, as well as the 'death' record, or only the 'death' record? When there is 'other' info on the same record line as the 'birth or death' info, we definitely only key the 'birth or death' info, but what should be done when there are 2 lines in the image? http://screencast.com/t/bTLvYidu

:A: Please post a snip of a record. -- [[User:Wiedwoman|Wiedwoman]] 00:02, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

:    A: These are birth and death records. -- [[User:Wiedwoman|Wiedwoman]] 00:25, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Q: On a page of Bristol Deaths, I have several instances of a last name, blank first name, and then "negro child of John" or similar. Would I assume John to be the father, and so put "child of" or "negro child of" in the Prefix and John's name in the Father? Or is John not necessarily the child's father and so I should put nothing? Right above one of these lines is a line saying "negro man of Nathaniel," so perhaps the "negro child of" does not indicate actual relation.

== Suggestions/Additions ==

birth city or maiden name?: Deductive reasoning of screen shot would indicate the name in parenthesis is a maiden name, and NOT city of birth. Please advise!:
SHAW, Mary A. (Davenport), his wife. born Tiverton, Sept. 6, 1800. http://screencast.com/t/XI0WrBQUSBhK

:A: Maiden name Mary A Davenport was born in Tiverton. -- [[User:Wiedwoman|Wiedwoman]] 05:42, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

My screen shot is from births/deaths also. Yes, I believe the name in parenthesis is a maiden name, and not a birth city. But your answer is complete opposite of directions given previously on 28 Dec 2012: A: This is the place that person was born (Providence). -- Wiedwoman 15:50, 28 December 2012 (UTC), Which answer is correct?:
Q: When something is in parentheses after a name, as shown in the screenshot link, should it be entered as the Town or the maiden name.(?) On the 1st entry, it looked like it was the maiden name, but the 2nd entry makes it look like it might be the town. This was found in the Scitaute, RI births and deaths records.
http://screencast.com/t/nf5C1OJ7aG7

:A: This is the place that person was born (Providence). -- Wiedwoman 15:50, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

::A: I don't know if they always showed maiden names or birth cities in ( ) but in the 1st instance you have a birth city, so the logical choice for the name in ( ) is the maiden name. Maiden names should be in ( ) and birth place as shown as of a place. It gets tricky sometimes even figuring out if a name is a fathers name or a birth place on some names that could be birth places. You just have to do the best that you can do. I don't mean to be evasive just honest. And I can make mistakes too. :) -- [[User:Wiedwoman|Wiedwoman]] 06:26, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Q: The records I'm about to review have every field marked "BLANK" except for those with information. I have not seen one completed like this before, should I remove the "BLANK" from where it should not be. I believe I have 3 sets that like to do.

:A: It is not necessary to remove [blank]. --[[User:Paulmd199|Paulmd199]] 21:35, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Q: I am also finding very often while reviewing, that the PLACE NAME has been used on all pages when it is only on every other one. pclesle

:A: Technically it should be removed from the pages where it isn't written on. --[[User:Paulmd199|Paulmd199]] 21:35, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

==Discussion on document days ==

There has been considerable disagreement amongst keyers on what does and does not qualify as a document date. Here are some guidelines.

What does qualify (preferred):
*a date at the top or bottom of a letter, especially in the standard form {Place} {Date}
*a date in a field labeled document date, or the like

What does not qualify:
*References within the text to events, such as the date of future plans, the date a law was passed, etc.

Grey areas: (only when a preferred date cannot be identified)
*Stamps
*Latest log entry

==Discussion on aliases and Czech Grammar==

One of the major issues with the Czech projects has been how the Czech language handles names. They change the name depending on how it's used. For example Jindřich becomes Jindřicha, Karel becomes Karla, and on. Sometimes keyers are entering these alternate forms as separate people, sometimes as aliases. But in reality they are neither. I prefer, by far the nominative form (the actual name) when I can get it (in the absence of which, they must be keyed as written).

==Discussion on place names and Czech Grammar==

In a similar manner to personal names, place names also change depending on usage. For example: Brno becomes Brně, Praha (Prague) becomes Praze, Vídeň (Vienna) becomes Vídni. Like the personal names, I prefer the nominative form when possible, but likewise, key as seen when the nominative form isn't available in the text of the document.

==Discussion on full address vs City and district only==

The actual rule on these states that if there is a separate field for the street address to only key the city or district. After arbitrating a couple hundred of these I have determined that you hardly ever get an actual separate field for the street address. Meaning that most of the time it gets to be keyed in full. So if in doubt, key the full address.

==Discussion on inferring surnames==
I'd like to share my thoughts on this topic. I don't feel that it is very useful for a person to be known by only their first name if it is possible to avoid it. Especially as the images in this collection won't be published. I feel that it will be acceptable to infer the wife's surname from her husband, or the children from their parents.

== Common Keying Errors Found by Reviewers ==

This project uses diacritics (accents) - please be sure to key them as seen. 

Most images have multiple documents on them.  If the documents all relate to the same person, enter the latest date and only key the name once. If the documents concern different people, make sections for each person.

Document order: in order to facilitate alignment in arbitration it would be helpful if documents were read in the same order. This also makes a difference in accuracy as section headers cannot be moved independently in arbitration. I suggest reading the documents like you would the panels in a normal comic book (left-to-right), and not a manga (right to left). It will make less of a difference when we hit the a-review sets, but for now everything has been arbitrated.

Names of months. Quite often the only arbitration has been to the names of the months. There is quite a complicated rule in how do determine the correct month format. It has to do with the language the document was written in. If the document is in English, use English format, for German, German, and for Czech, Czech. I suppose for bilingual forms go with the language the person who actually filled out the document wrote in.

Calculating Year of birth. We don't calculate the year of birth from age without specific instructions to do so. Most especially don't use the date from a document that the age isn't written on as a basis for such calculation.

Keying as seen. Marriage status and nationality are fields that are keyed as written, however is acceptable to say someone is married when you see a phrase like "My husband John is in the army...."

Lost in translation: please don't translate place names, nor infer the country when it's not stated. Likewise don't omit the country when it is explicitly listed.

I have at least one keyer who is doing an excellent job of understanding the data, and for mining it for all it's worth, but whose accuracy rate doesn't reflect this. The reasons boil down to key as seen, and inference of what isn't actually stated. Since this keyer is really doing a pretty good job, I don't him to be discouraged by his present accuracy rate. No translating Londýn to London, Švýcarsko to Switzerland, or looking up the country of certain towns. I know it's very tempting.

= Selected Records =

http://c.mfcreative.com/i/akt/projecthelp/40138/Sample%20-%2040138%20-%20Registration%20Form001_1.jpg Any record or document that contains names to be keyed should be classified as "Selected Records." 

==== Document Day ====

The document date is the date the document was signed or written. This is not available on every record, but if it is, it can usually be found near the top or bottom of the page. It usually follows the word "dne", which means "on the day" and usually follows a place name as well. The date will always appear in the day-month-year format.

Key the document day as seen. If there are multiple documents on an image for the same individual, but they have different document dates, key the most recent date available. If there are multiple documents on an image for different individuals and they have different document dates, or one has a document date and the other doesn't, create a new section for each document so that new headers are created and individuals are associated with the correct date.

Example format of document date:

V {place} dne {day}.{month}.{year}

V Praze dne 9.dubna 1941 

==== Document Month ====

The document date is the date the document was signed or written. This is not available on every record, but if it is, it can usually be found near the top or bottom of the page. It usually follows the word "dne", which means "on the day" and usually follows a place name as well. The date will always appear in the day-month-year format.

Key the document month using the provided drop-down list and in the language of the document. Key the name of the month in full, even if abbreviated, written numerically, or in Roman numerals on the document. In Czech, the ending of the month will change depending on how it's written or used. '''Only key the standard month name, shown in bold below.'''

*I - January - ledna -'''leden'''
*II - Feburary - února - '''únor'''
*III - March - března - '''březen'''
*IV - April - dubna - '''duben'''
*V - May - května -'''květen'''
*VI - June - června -'''červen'''
*VII - July - července - '''červenec'''
*VIII - August - srpna - '''srpen'''
*IX - September - '''září'''
*X - October - října - '''říjen'''
*XI - November - listopadu - '''listopad'''
*XII - December - prosince -'''prosinec'''

For example, 25 April 1942 could be written as:

25.duben.1942

If there are multiple documents on an image for different individuals and they have different document dates, or one has a document date and the other doesn't, create a new section for each document so that new headers are created and individuals are associated with the correct date.

Example format of document date:

V {place} dne {day}.{month}.{year}

= Selected Records =

http://c.mfcreative.com/i/akt/projecthelp/40138/Sample%20-%2040138%20-%20Registration%20Form001_1.jpg Any record or document that contains names to be keyed should be classified as "Selected Records." 

==== Document Day ====

The document date is the date the document was signed or written. This is not available on every record, but if it is, it can usually be found near the top or bottom of the page. It usually follows the word "dne", which means "on the day" and usually follows a place name as well. The date will always appear in the day-month-year format.

Key the document day as seen. If there are multiple documents on an image for the same individual, but they have different document dates, key the most recent date available. If there are multiple documents on an image for different individuals and they have different document dates, or one has a document date and the other doesn't, create a new section for each document so that new headers are created and individuals are associated with the correct date.

Example format of document date:

V {place} dne {day}.{month}.{year}

V Praze dne 9.dubna 1941 [http://c.mfcreative.com/i/akt/projecthelp/40138/Sample%20-%2040138%20-%20registration%20form001_1-self_residence_date_day.jpg See Example]

25.duben.1942

25.dubna.1942

25.4.194225.IV.1942

However, the month for each of these should be keyed as "duben."

If there are multiple documents on an image for the same individual, but they have different document dates, key the most recent date available.
